Tis the time of year when summer shows are announced. Here's a list of the bigger shows that have been announced for Outlaw Field at the Idaho Botanical Garden, Ford Idaho Center, and a few other fun shows and summer music festivals. Some of these shows will definitely sell out (I think Bon Iver already did and now the resale tix are over $100 π) so get your tix while ya can!
